Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 327 Design Trap
Xia Qixuan's reply letter was quickly sent to the palace. The queen glanced at it, sneered, and slapped the letter aside, "Mother, it seems that Princess Mingzhu has been betrayed. Concubine Lian, this bitch, Miyahara thought he was a safe man, but he didn't expect to hook up with Xia Qin now."

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. The Prince has always been deeply thoughtful. Now that Concubine De has just passed away, he can immediately express his loyalty to Concubine Lian. If Concubine Lian can no longer help him in the future, he will definitely abandon him without hesitation. Concubine Lian, when that time comes, it will be much easier for you, Empress, to take care of her two."

The nurse on the side pinched her shoulder, "What's more, Concubine Lian's move is clearly pushing Princess Mingzhu to the empress's side. The servants felt that Princess Mingzhu's poison was strange before. Hand, otherwise, why would Princess Mingzhu suddenly come here to talk to your empress about this, I'm afraid she is doubting Concubine Lian in her heart."

"That's fine. Now that bitch Yue Jing'an is in the limelight, even I have to avoid the edge for a while. If Xia Zijin joins hands with her, I will be afraid. But now it seems that there is no chance at all. The queen smiled, leaning lazily on the bed, propping her head with one hand, and chuckling, "Go and send someone to watch Concubine Lian. If there is any movement, come and tell me immediately."

The nanny gave a sinister smile, and went down to give instructions knowingly.The queen rubbed the center of her brows, leaned on the desk beside her with half-closed eyes, and rested her fingers on the table, tapping once and for all.

Yue Jing'an thought that she was covering up the matter of paying homage to the former king, but she didn't know that someone had exposed her behavior in the previous life, and in this life, she even brought this matter to the queen.If it was an ordinary person, with her current status, she would pay a sacrifice, and at most she would be punished by the Holy Emperor.

But this matter is really a taboo in Ming Shengdi's heart, but at this moment, Yue Jing'an doesn't know that there is a pair of eyes staring at her from the dark.

Xia Zijin only violated the rules when she held a memorial service in Yue Jing'an Palace, she didn't know that there would be such a big secret behind what she accidentally knew, and she didn't know that her actions almost brought a devastating disaster to Yue Jing'an.

After she came back from the queen's place, she saw Wei Chen looking around the door of the son-in-law's mansion with a basket in his hand, with a troubled face, as if he wanted to go in, but he was embarrassed.Just as Xia Zijin was about to call him to stop, she saw him turn around and leave, she couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly beckoned Xin'er to follow and have a look.

In the evening, Xin'er returned to the mansion.Xia Zijin was eating the pine nuts, and when she heard that Wei Chen went to see a little girl, he frowned involuntarily, and subconsciously put down the pine nuts, "How old is that little girl?"

"Your maidservant looks at her, she looks about six or seven years old. It just doesn't look like Mr. Wei's daughter." When Xin'er followed her, she was worried that Wei Chen would find out that she was far away, so she didn't hear the two of them clearly. She didn't return until Wei Chen entered the house with the girl in his arms.

Xia Zijin listened to Xin'er's return thoughtfully, touched her chin with her finger, and there was some doubt in her eyes. If she was six or seven years old, she wouldn't be Wei Chen's daughter. I think so, when he left, Wei Chen didn't even have a girl he liked, so how could he have a child in just one year.

Just as he was thinking, Xia Shengqing pushed the door open and came in. Xia Zijin subconsciously looked up, and saw the rainwater on his body, dripping, forming a small circle under him.Xia Zijin immediately walked up to him, took his palm, and frowned immediately, "Why are your hands so cold?"

As she was talking, she looked out and saw that it was raining heavily outside at some point. She was only thinking about Wei Chen's matter but didn't notice it.Seeing that she was worried about herself, Xia Shengqing couldn't help but smiled and pushed her palm away, "I'm wet, wait a minute."

Xin'er immediately retreated knowingly, Xia Zijin saw him taking off his outer robe and walking over in only his middle coat, his brows were tightened, "It's raining so heavily outside, why don't you send someone to deliver a letter back, at least call him The housekeeper sent an umbrella."

"It's nothing. If I catch a cold, you will take care of me." Xia Shengqing hugged him and sat down on the couch, hiding the stiffness of the corners of his lips, and smiled.

Yue Jing'an pays homage to the late former emperor every year. Although he has no impression of him, it is still his own blood.For the sake of his safety, Yue Jing'an rarely asked him to burn the paper himself, but just led him into the secret compartment one day in advance to burn incense in front of the memorial tablet.

Therefore, he went straight to Yue Jing'an's palace after the court today, and came back a little late. This matter was not in the light of day, so naturally he would not ask the housekeeper to pick him up.

Xia Zijin didn't notice the unnaturalness on his face. Seeing him teasing her, she couldn't help but blushed. After a while, the temperature on her face dropped, "Sheng Qing, I went to the Queen's Palace today and asked her Regarding Concubine Dong, do you know what time Concubine Dong died?"

"Well, why did you think of asking this?" Xia Shengqing's body stiffened for a moment, but he recovered quickly after a while, lowered his head, his bright eyes narrowed slowly, a flash of vigilance flashed inside, and he was full of curiosity again.

Xia Zijin opened her mouth, originally wanting to tell Xia Shengqing the truth, but she couldn't get it out. Inexplicably, she didn't want to tell Xia Shengqing about her informant with the queen today, so she laughed dryly, "Of course!" Curious, I went to ask when I had nothing to do, but it's a pity that the empress refused to talk about it."

Xia Shengqing's gaze fell straight on her, as if trying to discern whether what she said was the truth.Seeing that she was really puzzled and her eyes were dark and clear, Xia Shengqing turned her gaze away and laughed, "This matter is a taboo in the emperor's heart. The empress has a reason for not telling you. Concubine Dong died that year. At that time, I was still young and my memory was vague, so I'm afraid I can't explain it to you."

In this room, Xia Zijin and him practiced Tai Chi with each other, concealing what was in their hearts.The nanny sent by the queen to watch Yue Jing'an over there was trembling with excitement. She watched Yue Jing'an carrying a large ball of yellow paper into the garden of the abandoned palace, and immediately went back to report to the queen.

It was almost midnight at this time, the queen had already rested, and listening to the muttering outside, she frowned displeasedly, and called twice in succession, the maid on duty outside immediately walked in, "What orders does your empress have?"

"What's going on outside?" The queen sat up half propped up, and the mother knew that the queen was awake, and immediately dressed and rushed over, seeing that the queen had already finished her clothes under the service of the maid, she couldn't help being startled.

After she reacted, she hurriedly lowered her head, raised her hand and slapped herself, "Damn it, I don't know where you are going when you get up so late?"

The Queen has just been rewarded by the guards, and she is very happy at the moment. She just waits to rush over to catch Yue Jingan, so she naturally doesn't care about her rudeness when she looks directly at her. , we should go and see."

Mammy was startled for a moment, and then she immediately revealed a look of ecstasy, "Your Majesty, what Princess Zhu said before..."

The maid who was buttoning the queen's buttons shook her fingers, then quickly lowered her head to hide the uneasiness in her heart, and the movements of her hands involuntarily slowed down.The queen frowned slightly, lowered her head, and saw that she was restless, her brows furrowed a little bit, "Ah Ci, what's going on with you tonight?"

An absent-minded look made her angry just looking at it.The palace maid who was called out immediately fell to her knees in fright, reluctantly explaining, "The empress forgive me, but this servant is still feeling a little uncomfortable today, so... it's all the servant's fault, please forgive me."

The queen sighed, Ah Ci was the maid of honor by her side, she was very stable in the past, but these days she was unwell and asked for a few days off, she thought she was recovering from her illness, but she didn't expect that the illness was not fully healed, so she It is also loyal to drag a sick body over.

Thinking of this, the anger in the Queen's heart dissipated a little.Instead, the nurse next to her knocked A-Ci's eyes and snorted coldly, "Since you are not in good health, you should rest on the couch and come here privately to serve Your Majesty, don't you want to get mad at your illness to your Majesty?"

Under the stern words, Ah Ci's face turned pale with fright, and he waved his hands quickly, saying that he never had such thoughts.The queen rubbed the center of her brows, thinking about the things to be done later, and didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, so she waved her hand and told her to go down.

Ah Ci hurriedly retreated in fear, looked back at the brightly lit hall, gritted his teeth, folded his body and ran out quickly.Mammy watched Ah Ci retreat, her eyes narrowed, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips.

Yue Jing'an carried a stack of yellow papers and walked to the place where she used to worship the former emperor, and sighed, a trace of sincere sadness appeared on her beautiful face, and the green smoke quickly lit up, and the mother who accompanied her Seeing this, he immediately turned back and went to the intersection ahead to watch out for her.

However, before Mammy reached the intersection, there was a sound of hurried footsteps coming towards this side, Mammy's complexion changed immediately, she didn't even have time to see who she was with, she turned around and went to inform Yue Jing'an.

The queen brought people over, and saw a figure running past in the flower forest from a distance, she couldn't help raising the corners of her lips and beckoning, and the nanny who followed her immediately rushed forward with the maids and guards.Yue Jing'an got the news from the nanny, she was shocked, and only had time to extinguish the fire in the copper basin, when she was bumped into by the queen.

When she raised her head, she met the pride in the queen's eyes, and suddenly felt a chill run up her spine, her limbs and bones became cold, and she shivered from the cold.The dark clouds that hadn't had time to disperse gathered together again, but it rained after a while.

"Concubine Lian, you are so brave that you dare to openly sacrifice in the palace." Seeing her standing there with a pale face, the queen felt relieved, and immediately yelled.

However, Yue Jing'an just stood there, turning a deaf ear to her anger, only thinking about it if Ming Shengdi knew about it...
